If anyone has an idea why the connection doesn't go through, I would be most grateful. I really don't want to reflash the module which is why I haven't moved to the WiFiEspAT library (though I am enviously eyeing some of the additional functionality it provides!). I have several modules with various firmware (the latest is 1.5) and they all behave identical.

I don't think the problem is with the ESP-01 or firmware. I have no idea if the ESP-01 has chosen to close the connection for some reason or if closed (or refused) the connection. Subsequent AT+CIPSEND works fine on Google but receives some "link is not valid" message for, presumably because the connection was not properly established. (Immediate = about 40 milliseconds according to the SerialMonitor timestamps) When issuing AT+CIPSTART=3,"SSL"," ",443 I almost immediately receive 3,CLOSED followed by OK. When issuing AT+CIPSTART=3,"SSL"," I almost immediately receive 3,CONNECT followed by OK. I have duplicated the problem completely without any Arduino code by typing the commands manually into SerialMonitor with an ESP-01 module plugged into a USB adapter. Even the sample "WebClientSSL" which comes with the WiFiESP library, which works fine for Google, won't work for Īfter much debugging, I have tracked the problem to the establishing of the connection itself. It is simply not possible to connect to. I am therefore trying to use an ESP-01 module and the (excellent!) WiFiEsp library. The custom board doesn't support simply plugging in a shield. My project is based on a custom "bare-bone" style Arduino and based on an ATMEGA1284.
